Integration of Lean Con. and Building Information Modelling
Conversion
activities are bound together through flow activities. Thus flow activities must be taken under
investigation to eliminate non-essential activities or simplify and make activities which can not be
eliminated from production more efficient. Reducing the share of NVA activities is expected to
generate one or more of the following benefits (Koskela 2000):
Lead time compression

Variability reduction
Simplification

made more efficient, according to the lean production philosophy.
